How do I delete a remote branch with a period in the name?

jonsmirl@smirl2:/home/apps/florida/lpc31xx$ git push origin :fl
To git@github.com:jonsmirl/lpc31xx.git
 - [deleted]         fl

jonsmirl@smirl2:/home/apps/florida/lpc31xx$ git push origin :fl.stg
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: fl.stg
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:jonsmirl/lpc31xx.git'
jonsmirl@smirl2:/home/apps/florida/lpc31xx$
